IP Networking

Hi there guys!

I have a small task that I have to accomplish, but I don't seem to be able to do that.

I have a server that I don't have physical access to, and I mostly control it with webmin. The server is running 2 websites. Both of these websites have their own domains that are linked to the IPs. Both of these IPs are actually the same machine. When I do ifconfig eth0 in the shell I get a table that says there is eth0 and eth0:1. The eth0 has the first IP and eth0:1 has the second one. Now I need to set up a third website on this server. I have gotten an extra IP for that purpose. I will set up Apache for that IP and direct the user to the required htdocs folder. But I can't really understand how can I assign that new IP to my eth0. Can someone plz explain that to me? Thanks In advance!!!!

see the man pages for the command 'ifconfig'

also it is very important to specify which OS you are using.
